The Washington Legislature has passed a bill that will raise the legal age for marriage to 18, joining 10 other states in efforts to prevent child marriage. This legislative move comes after the bill's failure in the last legislative session. In parallel, a proposal requiring Washington State students to learn the 'meaning and history' of the pledge of allegiance did not pass, lacking Democratic support. Additionally, a bill aimed at mandating education on the Holocaust and genocide in schools failed to advance amid debates over the war in Gaza. Another legislative consideration is a bill that would not count crimes committed as minors in offender scores during sentencing.

Most U.S. public-school teachers think students should be taught that the legacy of slavery affects Black Americans today and that parents shouldn’t be able to opt their children out of lessons on racism, according to Pew https://t.co/Wzk1kPke9J https://t.co/Wzk1kPke9J
The problem with teachers insisting that slavery still affects blacks today is that it ignores the entirety of post 60s liberalism and its many failures, especially its creation of permanent black underclasses in every major city. A post 60s liberalism that is currently… https://t.co/ZRIUGfQji9
